Cornell University Press, 2022. New Book. Paperback. 270 pp. Galvanizing Nostalgia? explores critical questions for the survival of Russia in its nominally federal form. Will Russia fall apart along the lines of its internal republics, as did the Soviet Union? Based on cultural anthropology field and historical research in major republics of Eastern Siberia--Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia, and Tyva (Tuva)--this book highlights Indigenous concerns about self-determination. Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer suggests that a fragile and disorganized dynamic of nested sovereignties has developed within Russia. Ecology activism has grown, given new threats to the environment and accelerating climate challenges, especially in the Arctic. Focus on strategically chosen republics enables comparing and contrasting interethnic relations, language politics, and the salience of gender, demography, resource competition, environmental degradation, and increased spirituality. Republics vary in their neocolonial relationships… Read More

Vintage. New Book. Paperback. 608 pp. Written in the great tradition of epic Russian fiction, Generations of Winter is a magnificent saga that captures one of the most fascinating chapters in modern history - the Soviet Union in the years 1925 to 1945. Breathtaking in its scope, masterful in its command of historical events and its understanding of timeless human truths, the novel has been likened to a twentieth-century War and Peace, and it marks a bold and brilliant departure for celebrated Russian author Vassily Aksyonov. At the center of this vast panoramic work is the genteel Gradov family. Patriarch Boris is an esteemed surgeon, his wife, Mary, a pianist, has two great passions - her family and the music of Chopin. Their elder son, Nikita, is a dashing officer in the Red Army, their younger son, Kirill, is a philosopher and devout Marxist, and their daughter, Nina, is a free-spirited poet with a dangerous tendency to speak her mind. Propelled by their loves, ambitions, and beliefs, the… Read More

Москва: Эксмо, 2022. New Book. Переплет: Мягкий Страниц: 384 О Викторе Пелевине не слышал, наверное, только глухой: он является одним из самых читаемых писателей современности. Роман «Generation П» стал бестселлером всех времен и форматов. Написанный о поколении семидесятых, которое выбрало пепси, он странным образом читается свежо и для поколения, рожденного в девяностые. По его произведениям снято несколько фильмов, сам он не появляется на публике и сохраняет максимальную степень секретности. Некоторые вообще уверены, что все тексты за него пишет ученый енот… Read More

Москва: Эксмо, 2022. New Book. Переплет: Твердый Страниц: 384 Главный герой романа, представитель поколения "П", начинает с торговли в киоске, потом осваивает интеллектуальную халтуру на ниве рекламы и маркетинга, работает над "русской идеей", а в итоге становится... земным мужем богини Иштар. Вся прелесть пелевинского романа в том, что его каждый воспринимает по-своему: это и глубокая эзотерика, и блестящее издевательство над рекламой, и политический памфлет, и философская фантастика, и учебное пособие по рекламе и маркетингу. А еще - это секретное… Read More

Москва: АСТ, 2023. New Book. Переплет: Мягкий Страниц: 352 Ставший культовым в молодежной среде, роман "Generation "П" посвящен явлению, проникшему во все поры нашей повседневной жизни, - рекламе. Многие склонны брезгливо отмахиваться от нее как от назойливой мухи, считая чем-то несерьезным. Но разве рекламные слоганы не вошли плотно в нашу речь? Разве "рваная стилистика" рекламных клипов не влияет на наше сознание? Герой романа Вавилен Татарский полагает, что ему известна подлинная цена рекламы - ведь именно он ее создает. Но ему и в страшном сне не может… Read More

Необычно и ярко перед читателем этой книги предстанет современный мир с его абсурдностью и потайными, часто невидимыми глазу противоречиями. И тот… Read More

Indiana University Press, 2017. Binding: Paperback Nikolai Charushin's memoirs of his experience as a member of the revolutionary populist movement in Russia are familiar to historians, but A Generation of Revolutionaries provides a broader and more engaging look at the lives and relationships beyond these memoirs. It shows how, after years of incarceration, Charushin and friends thrived in Siberian exile, raising children and contributing to science and culture there. While Charushin's memoirs end with his return to European Russia, this sweeping biography follows this group as they engaged in Russia's fin de siècle society, took part in the 1917 revolution, and struggled in its aftermath. A Generation of Revolutionaries provides vibrant and deeply personal insights into the turbulent history of Russia from the Great Reforms to the era of Stalinism and beyond. In doing so, it tells the story of a remarkable circle of friends whose lives balanced love, family and career with exile, imprisonment,… Read More

Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy, 2014. New Book. Paperback. 496 pp. A science fiction thriller by the author of Night Watch, the hit novel that inspired two major motion pictures. Five months after the horrific accident that left him near death and worried that he'd never fly again, master-pilot Alex Romanov lands a new job: captaining the sleek passenger vessel Mirror. Alex is a spesh-a human who has been genetically modified to perform particular tasks. As a captain and pilot, Alex has a genetic imperative to care for passengers and crew-no matter what the cost. His first mission aboard Mirror is to ferry two representatives of the alien race Zzygou on a tour of human worlds. His task will not be an easy one, for aboard the craft are several speshes who have reason to hate the Others. Dark pasts, deadly secrets, and a stolen gel-crystal worth more than Alex's entire ship combine to challenge him at every turn. And as the tension escalates, it becomes apparent that greater forces are at work to… Read More

Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene… Read More

Bloomsbury Academic, 2023. New Book. Paperback. 312 pp. Condition: very good, one corner of the book is slightly bent. For those living in the Soviet Union, Orwell's masterpieces, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, were not dystopias, but accurate depictions of reality. Here, the Orwell scholar and expert on Russian politics, Masha Karp - Russian Features Editor at the BBC World Service for over a decade - explores how Orwell's work was received in Russia, when it percolated into the country even under censorship. Suggesting a new approach to the controversial 'Orwell's list' of 1949, Karp puts into context the articles and letters written by Orwell at the time. She sheds light on how the ideas of totalitarianism exposed in Orwell's writing took root in Russia and, in doing so, helps us to understand the contemporary political reality. As Vladimir Putin's actions continue to shock the West, it is clear we are witnessing the next transformation of totalitarianism, as predicted and described by… Read More

University of California Press, 2018. New Book. Paperback. 296 pp. "Every Georgian dish is a poem."--Alexander Pushkin According to Georgian legend, God took a supper break while creating the world. He became so involved with his meal that he inadvertently tripped over the high peaks of the Caucasus, spilling his food onto the land below. The land blessed by heaven's table scraps became Georgia. Nestled in the Caucasus mountain range between the Black and Caspian seas, the Republic of Georgia is as beautiful as it is bountiful. The unique geography of the land, which includes both alpine and subtropical zones, has created an enviable culinary tradition. Winner of the IACP Julia Child Award for Cookbook of the Year, The Georgian Feast introduced a generation of cooks to the rich and robust cuisine and culture of Georgia. This revised and expanded anniversary edition features new photography, recipes, and an essay from celebrated wine writer Alice Feiring.
